To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, THOMAS B. BALDWIN, ofTroy, Bradford county, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a newand Improved Parlor (looking-Stove, of which the following is aspecification.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the stove. Fig. 2 is a sectionalelevation of the same on line 00 av, Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a perspectiveview of the grate-cover.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a stove with two fire-places,so arranged that the one may be used simply for heating purposes and theother be used for cooking purposes.

In the drawings, A represents the cylinder of the stove, provided with adoor, a, for the lower fire-chamber, B, and a door, I), for the upper orcooking chamber, 0, said stove being also provided with a draft-opening,c, for the lower, and a draft-opening, d, for the upper, fire-chamber orcooking part of the stove.

Fixed horizontally within the stove, between the lower and upper doors,a b, is a grate, D, provided with a grated or perforated back, f, fixedvertically along its rear edge, in order to retain fuel upon the saidgrate, and between the rear edge of this grate D, which is cut away, forthe purpose, and the back of the stove there is formed a flue, H, whichpermits the passage of the products of combustion from the lowerfire-chamber t0 the smoke-pipe E.

The top F of this stove is hinged, as shown at *h, so that it. canreadily be turned back, and it is provided with holes m m for theaccommodation of cooking utensils, said holes m m being closed withsuitable covers when not filled with cooking utensils.

When this stove is used as a parlor-stove simply for heating the room,the fire is placed only in the lower fire-chamber and on a suitablegrate; but when used for cooking a fire is placed on the upper grate, D,so that the heat therefrom may be brought in close contact with thebottom of the cooking utensils.

Both fires may be maintained at the same time, and in such case theplate G will not be used; and when afire is made in only the lower partof the stove the upper fireplace may be converted into a heating-oven byplacing the said grate-cover Gr upon the upper grate, D.

Having thus described myinvention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent-- A parlor cook-stove consisting of a single cylinder,having the doors a b, draft-openings c d, grate D f placed between saidopenings,- smoke-pipe E, holes m in. top F, and flue H, all arrangedsubstantially as shown and described.
